It is believed the woman
was killed and the body stuffed therein. The motive and identity of the woman
were not immediately known, police said.
Police were called to
the scene and moved the body to the mortuary pending other procedures.

Elsewhere, a move by a
father to discipline his daughter for allegedly spending two nights away from
home turned tragic when the girl died in Mathare slums, Nairobi.
The girl was a form two student at a Senior Secondary School in Mathare North area.
She died on
Friday night, hours after she had been assaulted by her father on claims she
spent two nights away without the knowledge of the parents.
Neighbours said the
father and his two sons were upset by the girl’s move and joined in the
disciplining mission.
She escaped to a house
belonging to her aunt, where the group reportedly pursued her with more
beatings.
The girl collapsed and
died, prompting the group to escape the scene. Police said the father, aged 43, was arrested from a house in the area and detained pending other procedures, including prosecution with murder.
The body of the girl was
moved to the mortuary pending an autopsy and other processes.
Such punishment is banned both in schools and at home. Police warn against such punishment following a surge in tragedies surrounding the same mode.
In Kampi Ya Moto area,
Rongai, Nakuru county, a 28-year-old man died after a fight with his friend.
He was found dead in his
house long after the fight, police said.
The body of Jackson Ambuye was found in the house with injuries on the head and was moved to the mortuary pending an autopsy.
